Dom Kennedy: "Hennessy Beach" F. Curren$y

Dom Kennedy and Curren$y were pretty much destined to work together. Both dudes have incredible ears for production, which tends to lead to their rhyming over breezy, jazzy beats evoking images of late-night cruises through a coastal setting. Their latest collaboration, "Hennessy Beach," has that quality in spades. Led by smooth jazz-ish horns and sparkling keys, the track floats by so easily that you could end up listening to it 12 times before you even notice. Neither Kennedy nor Spitta tread out of their respective lyrical lanes here, but who cares when it sounds this goddamn good.
